We welcomed @davemorrissey64 to reopen our library this week along with our Governor Laura Whitehurst.
David spent time talking to the prisoners, promoting the importance of reading and held a Q&A session.
Thank you @StaffsLibraries and David Morrissey for the event.

Brilliant ideas from @BeginsHistory for how to start an intergenerational conversation. Reminiscence can be so helpful for good mental health, wellbeing and just a great chat. What conversations will you have with your friends, neighbours, elderly relatives? #StaffsHistFest

Get a conversation started with the help of our new #HBAHInPrint question sheet!
Find it at historybeginsathome.org, along with other free resources to inspire, capture and keep intergenerational conversations.
